Style & Strengths

With a knack for the King’s Pawn Opening (55.56% win rate) and a fierce command of the Scandinavian Defense variations, mdguerra battles with a mix of classical wisdom and unpredictable flair. The favorite tactics include pressing early with the Pirc Defense, boasting their highest opening win rate at 83.33%.

Notable Quirks

mdguerra’s games tend to conclude through resignation quite often — both in victory and defeat. Perhaps a sign of psychological warfare or sheer confidence? Their tilt factor is a humble 8%, which means a bad move or two is unlikely to start a meltdown. Best to avoid challenging mdguerra around 9 AM though — that’s their peak playtime where the tactical awareness is razor-sharp.
